[stahn finds himself breathing out a shaky sigh. it's hard to tell if it's tired or it's relief—maybe it's a bit of both. but leon seems to understand what he means, and he's not fighting it. for what feels like the first time in months, they're not fighting over this topic, and maybe for that reason, stahn does feel relief.
all he wants to do more than anything beyond what needs to be done back on their world is help leon. it's hard to help, though, when leon is so adamant about pushing away his efforts and trying to cause distance between. it had felt like so many steps backwards from the strides they'd made on their journey together...
so for the first time in a while, it feels like they're actually taking a step forward.]
...Thank you, Leon. [thank you for not fighting him. thank you for understanding. thank you for being here.
it hardly solves all of their problems, and stahn himself is still dealing with the weighted guilt for how things he's let happen to leon rather than actually being able to protect him from the worst of things that have gone on.]

However I can.... I'll help.
